After not firing Aaron Boone and acquiring several relief pitchers at the deadline who have had notable failures, the Yankees, as usual, rose above it. They reclaimed second place in the AL East thanks in part to the easiest August and September schedule ever devised by Manfred. Just like forcing Jazz Chisholm into the home run derby, baseball must force the Yankees into the playoffs for ratings or some nonsense so the path is flattened just in case they hit a bump in the road earlier.

The Red Sox have an exciting schedule lined up, with games almost every day until September 28, starting with a challenging series against the Chicago Cubs.
